NEW BALANCE 574 VARSITY RED

The initial release of the New Balance 574 Varsity pack was pretty major, those cobalt blue and bright orange sneaks, had us wanting to take it old skool and wear one on each foot! They’ve now dropped the red into the mix…sigh! A pop of red is a must both on the lips and on the feet. The 574 Varsity pack features a colour coded suede and mesh upper with monochrome accents and a grey and white midsole; they also come with options for the laces, red or white!

Know that these are being sported regularly to many an event/press day and have received a caboodle of compliments; time to start pounding the streets of London again after the brief break from the madness that is Fashion month.

DENIM & SUPPLY RALPH LAUREN X AVICII SPRING 14

This Spring marks Denim & Supply Ralph Lauren‘s third video collaboration with two-time Grammy-nominated DJ/producer, and brand spokesperson, AVICII.

Inspired by the eclectic nature of Denim & Supply Ralph Lauren and AVICII’s envelope-pushing new sound — a blend of electronic dance music, bluegrass, alt rock and more — the new video sets the latest hit “Addicted to You” off of AVICII’s album, TRUE, against the brand’s hometown of New York City.

Shot by Mark Seliger, the spring ’14 video takes the Denim & Supply cast on a journey from the Lower East Side to AVICII’s sold-out show at the Roseland Ballroom, set against Audra Mae’s major vocals and AVICII’s driving beat. Of the sound featured in the video, AVICII says, “It’s about making something that really excites me. I want to expand my own musical knowledge and try to make something that feels fresh and true.”

From next week the video becomes an ‘shop-able’ experience allowing you to buy the collection (images below) straight from the clip!

FD LOVES THE MULBERRY KENSAL

A modern twist on a classic envelope design: it’s double sided! Mirror-image front and back sections both secure with a briefcase lock and give double the room for everyday essentials.
